I assume their army is already spent since there was a battle in Sandlakes this turn.

The fastest way  to kill the daimon comanders would be through a duel to the death. If your character is skilled enough and if they accept of course.

Which they won't, because they don't speak English/Battlemaster Common Tongue (German?) and don't have anything resembling honor. No, you need your good buddy, Infiltrator Guy. You need Skiarxon Guldan. When you absolutely, positively need to stab the !@#$ out of a general in the middle of tens of thousands of CS of troops, accept no substitutes.

To be honest, death duels also get abused. I can't count the times that Overlord has been challenged to one. Seriously, people? The guy is immortal and has skills maxed out. I could've killed a dozen characters just by accepting their challenges. You are really lucky that he considers you so far below him that he doesn't even consider duelling something he sees as the equivalent of a rat.

There's your answer. :)

If he's so epic, why did he get captured on his first mission in Fissoa? ;)

Did he really? :( He pulled a neat hat trick against CE, put down Enri and several marshals during a huge clash (About 60K CS altogether) with the Darka/Eston coalition and completely tipped the scales. I thought it would be cool if he could repeat that against the Daimons... but honestly I really shouldn't be fanboying him.

Haha. Well, that is pretty epic. :)

Great, that is roughly what we have in Rio after the beating the Daimons gave us, and we are trying to enlarge it before we counter-strike. So what are you planning to do with it? Face the Daimons alone when they are done with us? Because I suspect it won't be enough...

Fought in Sandlakes. We lost the battle, but barely lost any CS. We should win this second round.

Our economy's pretty bad with the loss of Sandlakes and blighting of Eg Tutnu, so taking on these daimon militas is kinda necessary and urgent.

I lost the rulership election by a tie because my loyalists just lost their regions to the daimons or blight or paused... Would have otherwise doubled the result. That's interesting...

Crap luck like that is why the code for ties should be changed.

I remember my candidate for the duchy of Rines lost by tie during the Fourth Invasion. Which meant I had to convince/cajole an entirely new guy to secede into Meridian Republic from Riombara... Damn Khaludh... Should have known he couldn't be trusted ;D

Maybe you should have been trying to be a leader for all of your realm, so you wouldn't have tied in the first place...

There's your answer. :)

So this means he can not die in battle like one of the daimon general recetly or be excuted after being captured?

As for great status, I kind of suspected it.  But there is no shame dieing in duel to the death.
